ODM leader Raila Odinga will have to reorganize his team and pitch tent in a number of counties that he dearly needs to win in November elections.
Despite nullification of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s victory by Supreme Court on Friday, figures from IEBC shows Odinga performed below bar in a number of counties against his expectations.
And Gideon Mamboleo says failure to change tactics in a number of counties will lead to an investable defeat.
“He will argue that he was rigged out but performance of NASA in a number of counties was not convincing and he must change tact.
“He should make endless trips and try to capitalize on the court ruling. That will even invite more sympathy votes to his basket,” he says.
Among the counties that Odinga will have to visit include Nyamira, Kisii, Narok, Kajiado, Samburu, Isiolo, Garissa and Marsabit.
For instance at Nyamira, despite being his stronghold, Odinga reportedly lost to Kenyatta who scored 52 percent of votes cast.
